第十天一、美文晨读Roland was a carpenter in Virginia. He and Sheila had three kids—two boys and baby Jessica. The baby had been in and out of the hospital for the last year because of infections and other problems. She was very weak and sick. The doctors were not confident that she would live another year.Taking care of Jessica was expensive. The family was deep in debt. Roland, an independent subcontractor, had medical insurance, but he had very high deductibles.Things were bad. Roland saw no light at the end of this tunnel. Then he saw an ad in the newspaper: “Security guards/contract workers wanted. $100,000 a year. First $80,000 tax free. $20,000 bonus for extending contract an extra year.” He called the number. The line was busy, but he kept calling and finally got through. He was worried that the jobs were all taken, but they told him plenty of jobs were still available. They said they would give him two weeks of training in Texas. Then they would fly him to Iraq for his assignment.Roland told Sheila he had to take this job. He knew it was dangerous; he might get injured or killed, but the money was too good. Plus, the family would have full medical benefits, which would enable the baby to get the care she needed. Roland said if he survived the first year, he知识改变命运would probably sign up for the bonus and a second year.Sheila was worried. She asked, “What if you get killed? What are we going to do without you?”“You can’t think like that, honey,” he said. “You’ve got to think positiv e. Think about how well off we’ll be in two or three years after I bring back all that money. This is the best thing I could do for this family.”Sheila hugged him and sobbed. “I don’t want you to go.”Roland flew to Houston five days later.二、词汇训练1.

第一天一、美文晨读It was the first day of class。

Two of her new ESL classmates wanted to know where Tara was from。

They were both from Iraq. Because Tara looked Iraqi, one of the women asked Tara，in English, if she was from Iraq。

Tara replied，“No, I'm not。

" Then the women took turns asking Tara if she was from Iran, or Syria，or Jordan. To each question，Tara responded with a simple no。

Laughing, one woman said to the other, “She’s not from anywhere！" The two went to their desks，talking to each other in Arabic。

The next day，the teacher divided the students into groups of four. The students in each group asked introductory questions of each other。

A student in Tara's group asked her，“Where are you from？" Tara answered that she was from Iraq。

The two women who had questioned Tara the day before were sitting only a few feet away。

第四天一、美文晨读The crowd at the airport surged forward。

The passengers had been waiting for a couple of hours for an airline employee to open the door leading to the plane outside。

No one was in a good mood。

An old man got trapped in the middle of the rush。

He fell down without being able to break his fall. His head hit the concrete floor。

Blood gushed from his forehead. He appeared to be unconscious。

Everyone rushed past him，except for Dana。

She called for help.A minute later，a young airline employee showed up. Hardly looking at the old man, she told Dana to get aboard her plane。

She said the old man would be okay，and walked away。

Dana screamed for help. An airport supervisor appeared. He told Dana to get on the plane. Dana said that she was not moving until an ambulance arrived。

The supervisor said her plane would leave without her. Dana said that she didn't care.An ambulance and two paramedics finally arrived。

第三十天一、美文晨读Flowers are a wonderful gift of nature. Everyone likes them. Flowers portray love, happiness, joy and all the other positive emotions. Since time immemorial flowers have been an integral part of every celebration and festival.But there has been a misconception. Flowers are mainly associated with feminine gender. It is forgotten that men to have a soft side to them. Gift your father a bouquet of flowers on Father's Day and he surely will be overjoyed. Flowers, especially architectural and bold like tropical flowers, which are masculine, long lasting, tall and sturdy like the fathers usually are, can be given. White and Red Rose are known to be the official flowers of Father's Day. People wear a white rose to honor a father who has deceased and a red rose for a father who is living. Men love bright, hot, bold and aggressive colors like yellows, oranges, purples and reds and the arrangements that they go for are mostly the linear ones that are in sync with their organized, calculating mind. They also love the natural and contemporary floral bouquets that are stylish and trendy. One may opt for roses, daisies or exotic flowers, if only one keeps the color theme in mind. Vivid red roses and yellow daisies are loved by most men and thus make ideal flowers to be gifted on Father's Day.二、词汇训练1．The law of supply and demand g___________ the price of goods.2．His invalid father is becoming a b__________ to him.3．I use an oily r___________ to clean my bike with.4．Is the lavatory v__________.5．The demonstrators offered little or no r_________ to the police.6．We were just about to a_________ the losses when they came in.7．Her interests are very d_________.8．Greed is a terrible v__________.知识改变命运9．He was p_________ off and replaced with a younger man.10.

第二十二天一. 美文阅读Once a circle missed a wedge(楔). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly, it admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with worms. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. Now it could be whole, with nothing missing. It incorporated(组合)the missing piece into itself and began to roll. Now that it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers of talking to the worms. When it realized how different the world seemed when it rolled so quickly, it stopped, left its found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away.The lesson of the story, I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything is in some ways a poor man. He will never know what if feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to nourish(滋养)his soul with the dream of something better. There is wholeness about the person who has come to terms with his limitations, who has been brave enough to let go of his unrealistic dreams and not feel like a failure for doing so.二. 词汇训练1. We adhere to the ______________ (原则) that everyone should be treated fairly.2. ______________ (农业) in this country has developed greatly after liberation.3.

The hijackers ________ (威胁) to kill all the passengers if their demands were not met.?6. We used the money to set up an ______________ (灌溉) project.7. After many years of ___________ (分离), different part of the country finally got united.8. The statue was ______________ (雕刻) out of marble.9. He studied the German market to find the ______________ (潜力) there for profitable investment.10. Having no children of their own they decided to ______________ (收养) an orphan.三．阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的正确形式。

第十七天一、美文晨读Wherever you are, and whoever you maybe, there is one thing in which you and I are just alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a journey, our life is a movement, a tendency, a steady, ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal. We are gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July, the season makes the difference. The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish in the man.Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another, even the failure to do something is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept –the other alternative.Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, -- you must be a little nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was first lunched upon the sea of life, you have never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you would. There can be no pause until you come into port.二、词汇训练(短语或单词)1．You must stop the children doing like that ________.2．________，the hardest problem has been settled and we are one step closer to our goal. 3．Under no ________ will I believe you.4．There has been a gradual ________ in the population of the town.5．It took her 20 minutes to ________ to the ticket office.6．Whole villages were ________ by the earthquake.7．The terrorists fired into the crowd ________.8．We moved out of the city ________ in 1989.9．The discussion ________ three main problems.10．Your actions ________ your principles.三、完型填空Lunch hour is crazy at SAME Cafe, the 40-seat restaurant my husband and I run in Denver.A woman in a（n）_1 suit stepped in.

安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高二英语暑假作业19第十九天一．美文晨读A little boy invited his mother to attend his elementary 1 school s first teacher-parent conference 2. To the little boy s dismay, she said she would go. This would be the first time that his classmates and teacher met his mother and he was embarrassed by her appearance. Although she was a beautiful woman, there was a severe scar that covered nearly the entire 3 right side of her face. The boy never wanted to talk about why or how she got the scar.At the conference, the people were impressed by the kindness and natural beauty of his mother despite the scar, but the little boy was still embarrassed and hid himself from everyone. He did, however, get within earshot 4 of a conversation between his mother and his teacher, and heard them speaking."How did you get the scar on your face?" the teacher asked.The mother replied, "When my son was a baby, he was in a room that caught on fire 5. Everyone was too afraid to go in because the fire was out of control, so I went in. As I was running toward his crib 6, I saw a beam coming down and I placed myself over him trying to protect him. I was knocked unconscious7 but fortunately, a fireman came in and saved both of us." She touched the burned side of her face. "This scar will be permanent 8, but to this day, I have never regretted doing what I did."At this point9, the little boy came out running towards his mother with tears in his eyes.

If something happens, sit down with your roommate and have a face-to-face conversation. I've seen roommate relationships fall apart because something happens and ,instead of talking to each other, the two start complaining about their roommates behind their backs. 2◇Don't expect to be best friends.Some roommates become the best of friends, and some don't. Don't put pressure on yourself or your roommate, especially when you first meet. 3 And if your roommate doesn't end up being your best friend, don't worry.◇ 4This applies to food, clothes and anything else. If you want to keep a relationship going, show your roommate that you have respect for what is his or hers by asking first. Even if you both agree to share everything, you should still ask.◇Clean up after yourself.This should do without saying. Don't be lazy. Or, at least, don't bury your roommate in your clothes and garbage. Most people I've come across in college are messy. 5 But being considerate with where you put your stuff will help you avoid conflict.A.Think twice before you help your roommates out.B. This creates nothing but awkward situations and unhappiness.C. You don't have all the time to clean your room and keep it organized.D. Ask before you take.E. It all starts with you to have a good relationship with your roommate.F. Sometimes you get stuck with someone who has tons of negative energy.G. Remember, you're trying to make a new friend, not to scare your roommate away.四．完形填空My parents fixed in me the ideas of family，faith and patriotism(爱国主义)when I was young. __1__we struggled to make ends meet ，they__2__ to me and my four brothers and sisters how __3__ we were to live in a great country with __4__ opportunities.I got my first real __5 __ when I was ten.

Jean Fenn was charged with grand larceny.A conviction could put her in prison for up to seven years.The real winner of the ticket, Kevin Hayes, 66, presented it a week ago to the liquor store where he had bought it. That store will receive one percent of the prize, or $180,000. The owner of the store, Mark Abrams, 56, was overjoyed. “Last year we had a storm that blew half of our roof off. It cost $25,000 to put a new roof on.”Hayes said he was reminded to check his numbers when he heard that a woman had lost her winning ticket. He and his wife had been camping in the mountains when the winning number was drawn.“But I feel sorry for this woman," said Hayes. "She only did this out of desperation. In fact, I'm going to help her out financially after she gets out of prison. It’s a shame that this wealthy country has so many poor people. So, I’m going to donate a lot of this money to different charities. What do I need $18 million for?”The checks to Hayes and Abrams should arrive within two weeks, according to a lottery spokesman. The spokesman mentioned that lottery players should remember that the odds of winning the lottery are only about one in forty million. Even so, most people think that SOMEONE has to win, and it might as well be them.二．词汇训练1.

第三十一天一．美文晨读The air we breathe is so freely available that we take it for granted。

Yet without it we could not survive more than a few minutes。

For the most part, the same air is available to everyone，and everyone needs it. Some people use the air to sustain them while they sit around and feel sorry for themselves。

Others breathe in the air and use the energy it provides to make a magnificent life for themselves。

Opportunity is the same way。

It is everywhere。

Opportunity is so freely available that we take it for granted. Yet opportunity alone is not enough to create success。

Opportunity must be seized and acted upon in order to have value. So many people are so anxious to "get in” on a "ground floor opportunity"，as if the opportunity will do all the work。

That’s impossible。

Just as you need air to breathe，you need opportunity to succeed。

第二十一天一．美文阅读Tucked away in our subconsciousness is an idyllic vision. We see ourselves on a long trip that spans the continent. We are travelling by train. Out the windows, we drink in the passing scene of cars on nearby highways, of children waving on a crossing, of cattle grazing on a distant hillside, of smoke pouring from a power plant, of row upon row of corn and wheat, of flatlands and valleys, of mountains and rolling hillsides, of city skylines and village halls.But the uppermost in our minds is the final destination. On a certain day at a certain hour, we will pull into the station. Bands will be playing and flags waving. Once we reach there, so many wonderful dreams will come true and the pieces of our lives will be fit together like a completed jigsaw puzzle. How restlessly we pace the aisles, damning the minutes loitering, waiting, waiting, waiting for the station."When we reach the station, that will be it", we cry. "When I'm 18", "When I buy a new 450SL Mercedes Benz", "When I put my last kid through collage", "When I have paid off the mortgage", "When I get a promotion", "When I reach the age of the retirement, I shall live happily ever after."??? Sooner or later, we must realize that there is no station, no one place to arrive at once and for all. The true joy of life is the trip. The station isonly a dream. It constantly outdistances us."Relish the moment" is a good motto, especially when coupled withe the Psalm 118:24:"This is the day which the Lord hath made, we will rejoice and be glad in it." It isn't the burdens of today that drive men mad. It is the regrets over yesterday and the fear of tomorrow. Regret and fear are twin thieves who rob us of today.So stop pacing the aisles and counting the miles. Instead, climb more mountains, eat more icecreams, go barefoot more often, swim more rivers, watch more sunsets, laugh more and cry less. Life must be lived as we go along. Then the station will come soon enough.二．词汇训练1．Unfortunately，many species are in danger of ________(灭绝) nowadays.2．As the forests are being destroyed，the ________ ( 保护区)for them is becoming necessary.3．Unless we can get more ________(财政，资金)，we will close the hotel.4．The scientists ________(计算) using various kinds of data when the spacecraft would reach the moon.5．The murderer was ________(判刑) to death for what he had done. 6．Scientists are ________(宣称) a major breakthrough in the fightagainst cancer.7．We’ve ________(分配) accommodation to reach of the refugees. 8．The owner ________(威胁)to drive us out of the pub if we got drunk. 9．The fruit is ________(超过)my reach.10．We still don’t know exactly how the universe first came into ________( 存在)．三．七选五When you’re packing for an adventure, what’s the most important thing you’ll need? ___1__ Or better yet, a GPS. What about other animals, how do they know where they’re going?While humans depend on technology to travel, some animals have something far more advanced. Researchers, mainly from Oregon State University, US, found that Chinook salmon (鲑鱼) have a “built-in GPS” of the Earth’s magnetic field. __2__ It acts like a big map inside their brain.Scientists placed some baby salmon into a big swimming pool. To simulate (模拟) the Earth’s magnetic field, they put magnetic coils (线圈) all around the pool. Then, by changing the direction of the coils, the salmon began to change their own direction. They started to face in the direction of their ocean feeding area.__3__ When the scientists changed the coils to the opposite side, thesalmon also turned in the opposite direction. Just by using their “built-in GPS”, the salmon were?able to figure out the direction of their feeding area.__4__ The scientists believe that their navigation skills came through evolution. The fish that were able to reach the feeding area lived longer. __5__ So if you’re ever lost and in need of some help, maybe you should ask a salmon to point you in the right direction!A. How did Chinook salmon get their “built-i n GPS”?B. If you don’t want to get lost, you’ll need a map!C. This is a safe place in the ocean where salmon can find food to eat.D. Then they could pass on their navigation skills to their babies.E. However, the magnetic field is likely not the only tool salmon use to navigate.F. It turns out young salmon don’t just learn quickly, they don’t need to learn at all.G. This means as soon as they are born they are able to direct themselves in the ocean.四．阅读理解AOn April 10, 1815, Mount Tambora in Indonesia erupted with greatforce. Fifty cubic kilometers of magma (岩浆) flew from its peak (山顶) and a blanket of ash as thick as one centimeter fell over more than 500,000 square kilometers of Indonesia and the Java Sea. The eruption destroyed Tambora’s peak and formed a hole six by seven kilometers wide. The eruption and resulting tsunamis killed 10,000 people. The agricultural loss and disease brought about by the thick ash caused the deaths of 82,000 more.Indonesia was rocked again in 1883. On August 26, a small volcano on an uninhabited island between Sumatra and Java, erupted. The eruption produced an ash cloud 80 kilometers high and was heard in Australia—4,800 kilometers away. The eruption also caused a tsunami, which pounded (击打) the shores of Java and Sumatra—killing 36,000 people.In 1902, St. Pierre was a thriving (兴盛的) community and the largest town on the French colony of Martinique in the Caribbean Sea. Mont Pelee cast a shadow over the town from where it stood, eight kilometers to the north. The townspeople were used to the light continuous sounds of the mountain, but in May, 1902 Pelee started to get really unstable. Clouds of steam and ash poured from the volcano and on May 8, Pelee erupted. Superheated gas and steaming volcanic ash flew out, pouring down the mountain at high speed. Within seconds, the deadly gas cloud had destroyed the town of St. Pierre and incinerated everyonein it — except one prisoner in a basement cell. It was the worst volcano disaster of the 20th century.1. How many people died because of the eruption on April 10, 1815 ?A. About 10,000.B. More than 82,000.C. About 36,000.D. More than 92,000.2. The underlined word “incinerated” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_____”.A. brought upB. burned upC. woke upD. shut up3. Only one prisoner survived the volcano eruption of Mont Pelee on May8 because _____.A. he was on a ship thenB. he was kept undergroundC. he stayed in the waterD. he was hidden in a well4. We can know from this article that _____.A. no measures can be taken to protect people from a volcano eruptionB. volcanoes usually caused a series of earthquakesC. sometimes a volcano can completely destroy a cityD. volcanoes are much more violent than the earthquakesBEnvironmental health is defined as the control of the factors (因素) in the environment that may have harmful effects on people’s physical, mental, or social well-being (安乐). Because natural disasters expose people to danger by bringing up or threatening their immediate environment, effective management of environmental health after a natural disaster is of great importance.The environmental health measures that must be considered after a natural disaster include the supply of appropriate shelter for individuals or groups of people left homeless, the distribution (分配) of safe and accessible water, and the protection and distribution of safe food products and so on.To effectively manage environmental health during and after a disaster, it is important that a state of preparation is in effect before the event actually occurs. During an emergency, success largely depends on making good, rapid judgment and appropriate response measures. High-level decision makers, therefore, must be familiar with sound measures beforehand and should be given an accurate judgment of the disaster’s specific effects as quickly as possible.This book is intended to serve as a guide for those who may be called upon to make emergency decisions after disaster strikes. The recommended environmental health measures have been listed in the order of priority in which they should be taken during an emergency.However, each natural disaster is unique in the degree or type of emergency. In response to any given disaster, decision makers may find it necessary to change the priority assigned to any particular measure.5. The first paragraph is mainly to _____.A. tell the reader how to understand environmental healthB. express why environmental health after a natural disaster is importantC. describe the terrible scene that is caused by the natural disastersD. give advice on how to deal with the management of environmental health6. In order to effectively cope with the emergency, the most important is that _____.A. we should have enough shelters and toolsB. everyone should be familiar with the situationC. we should be well prepared for it in advanceD. we can deal with it just as we did before7. We can’t do just as the recommended environmental he alth measures because _____.A. some of the measures have not been taken beforeB. they are not the same according to different degrees or types of emergencyC. they are probably made up by someone without experienceD. they can’t be changed once they are taken by the experts8. The best title of this passage should be _____.A. Environmental Health Management after Natural DisastersB. The Bad Influence of the Natural DisastersC. Useful Measures to Avoid the Natural DisastersD. The Importance of the Environmental Health ManagementCMy Uncle Dave posed an interesting question to my wife and me when he came to visit us the other day. He asked: “What do you think the world will be like in 50 or 100 years, in terms of technology and society and so on?”He says he asks many of the people he meets this question to see what their thoughts are. His point is that no one really knows. I mean, in 1945, could people have even imagined surfing the net or sending e-mails as we do? No way. And the pace of technological innovation(创新) is incredible (难以置信的). We’re on a more different curve than we used to be.One thing I’m looking forward to is real software agents. There is so much information out there, but I want something that can help me find what I really want. For instance, in about ten years, I think, there will be no longer recorded music, and there will be some big databases fromwhich you can download music onto your hard drive or whatever. At that point, there will be so much music to choose from and you’ll be able to sample things before you buy them. But the question will be how I find what I’m looking for and how I do find the music that might interest me. Or more generally, how do I find information that I want without spending all the time myself surfing the net? How do I find people who are like-minded (具有相似目的), with whom I might really want to communicate? I want to find those people but it’s hard to do. In the future I think that one will be able to build a community of like-minded people w ho live all over the globe. It’s going to be very interesting, I think.9. No one really knows what the future will be like because _____.A. there is too much information for us to choose fromB. technological development is too fastC. people live in different countriesD. no one is intelligent enough to answer such a question10. The function of the first paragraph is to _____.A. explain the question given in this paragraphB. put forward the topic in this passageC. show Dave is a foolish man to ask such a questionD. describe a picture about what the future will be like11. The writer is looking forward to some real software agents so as to _____.A. earn a lot of moneyB. communicate with some like-minded peopleC. help find the correct information neededD. spare some time for surfing the Internet12. The best title of this passage should be _____.A. What the Future Will Be LikeB. Listen to Music Through the InternetC. Music and Software DevelopmentD. How to Live a Happy Life in the Future五．翻译句子1．那位老师轮流帮助每一位学生，此事占用了他大量的时间。

安徽省六安市舒城中学2016年高二英语暑假作业20第二十天一．美文晨读That must be the story of innumerable couples, and the pattern of life of life it offers has a homely grace. It reminds you of a placid rivulet, meandering smoothly through green pastures and shaded by pleasant trees, till at last it falls into the vastly sea; but the sea is so calm, so silent, so indifferent, that you are troubled suddenly by a vague uneasiness.Perhaps it is only by a kink in my nature, strong in me even in those days, that I felt in such an existence, the share of the great majority, something amiss. I recognized its social value. I saw its ordered happiness, but a fever in my blood asked for a wilder course.There seemed to me something alarming in such easy delights.

第二十八天一．美文晨读I am a teenager. I am ignorant, illiterate and irresponsible. I lie, cheat, steal and hate for no apparent reason. I am rude, inconsiderate and, to all appearances, completely lost. I have never known failure, loss or despair. I never talk to my parents about my life, and would never suffer being seen with them in public. I don’t know the value of a dollar and am under the impression that money is cleverly disguised as foliage. I drive 90 miles an hour and cause wrecks, discord and trouble wherever I travel. I know nothing of events, current or past. I am superficial, loud and obnoxious. I am viewed with haughty disapproval as a person who drinks, smokes and parties at every opportunity.I am a teenager. I am a stereotype. I have been cast unfairly in the role of an imprudent person who knows nothing, is inherently cruel, and always thinking of myself. I am the bane of a society of whom many have never read Tolstoy, Dickens, Bronte, Nietzsche or Rousseau. I am dismissed by many of the generation who fear the day when I become an adult, because then the world will surely fall to pieces. When people look at me, they evaluate through lenses tinted with suspicion, mistrust and doubt.Some will never know that I am compassionate, humble and patriotic. I am an athlete, singer, artist and comedian. I am a daughter, sister, student and friend.I laugh and cry. I speak out and I brood. I love, dislike, and show indifference.I will be the next Nobel Prize winner, best-selling author, life-saving surgeon, president, or beloved teacher. I have lofty dreams and the ambition to make them reality. I have the determination and self-discipline to see every goal surpassed.I will go to college not just to party and have fun, but to pull myself one step closer to the destination I so greatly desire. Through kind words, intelligent conversation and common courtesy I will change the misconception of youth.One day, one person at a time, I will show those who judge that they are wrong. When I am an adult there will be a new collection of disrespectful, reckless, hatefulyouth. Maybe, just maybe, when I look at them, I will see through the labels and see the promise of a future generation. For now, I am simply and proudly myself.I am faithful , loving and honest. I am inquisitive, intelligent and sincere. I ama leader, follower and teacher. I am a teenager.二．词汇训练1. He remained a _________ (单身汉)all his life.2.

第二十三天一．美文晨读What I love most about winter is its snow.The early snows fall soft and white and seem to heal the landscape. There are as yet no tracks through the drifts, no muddied slush in the roads. The wind sweeps snow into the scars of our harvest-time haste, smoothing the brow of hill, hiding furrow and cog and trash in the yard. Snow muffles the shriek of metal and the rasp of motion. It covers our flintier purposes and brings a redeeming silence, as if a curtain has fallen on the strivings of a year, and now we may stop, look inward, and rediscover the amber warmth of family and conversation.At such times, locked away inside wall and woolen, lulled by the sedatives of wood-smoke and candlelight, we recall the competing claims of nature. We see the branch and bark of trees, rather than the sugar-scented green of their leaves. We look out the window and admire the elegance of ice crystal, the bravely patient tree leaning leafless into the wind, the dramatic shadows of the stooping sun. We look at the structure of things, the geometry of branch and snowflake, family and deed.When snowflake drifts the road we head indoors and resign ourselves to the quiet crackle of the wood fire. The example of the woodpile and the well-stocked larder tells us that we can achieve what we dream, and winter brings us long, silent nights to dream on.二．词汇训练1. Oh, grow up! Behave in a more ______________ (成熟的) way.2. There are only a few c______________ (贪污的) officials that have been condemned.3. She is none the less beautiful for her ______________ (破烂的) clothing.4.

Of all the c______________ (顾问), only Mr. Wang gave us some proposals in point.9. Concerned about global warming, she is collecting ____________ (相关的) information.10. He lay on the floor with a ______________ (垫子) under his head.三．七选五The benefits of keeping a journalIf you want to grow, one important thing you should do is keeping a journal. It may seem simple, but it can make a big difference in your life. I have been keeping journals for years. Writing all the lessons I learn and all the ideas I get has become a habit for me. 1 Here aresome benefits you will get by keeping a journal.◆It prevents you from losing an idea. Have you ever gotten an idea only to lose it later because you didn’t write it down 2. But then I developed the habit of writing down every idea that came into my mind as soon as possible. If I’m away from my computer, I usually write it down on a piece of paper that I bring wherever I go. I will then transfer the idea to the journal in my computer.◆It helps you review all the lessons you’ve learned. By reviewing your journal, you can quickly see the lessons you’ve learned and the ideas you’ve gotten. 3. You can use the ideas to propel (鞭策) yourself forward.◆ 4. After keeping a journal for years, you can look back at it and see how far you’ve gone. Things that were big problems in the past might seem small today. The raw ideas you had in the past might have been realized today.◆ It helps you expand your ideas. When you try to come up with a sentence to express an idea, you are thinking actively about it. 5. In the end, you will expand your ideas.A．I often experienced that myself.B．It trains you to express your thoughts.C．It allows you to see your progress over time.D．Just use whatever tool you feel comfortable with.E. Thinking actively helps you connect your idea to another idea.F. And to be honest, I can’t imagine what my life would be like without it.G. Then you can do whatever necessary to avoid repeating the same mistakes.四．阅读理解AA surprisingly high number of city citizens in China suffer from poor health and many die at an early age.Poor health with no sign of any identified (确定的)disease, a condition known in China as "sub health," is on the rise. Sub health is marked by general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.A survey held in 16 cities with over 1 million population showed high proportions of urban Chinese have been suffering sub health problems.The numbers are particularly high in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, with , , and per cent respectively of residents in poor health, the survey(调查) showed.The problem happens mostly among senior and middle-level managers, clerks and other white-collar workers with high education levels, said the website of the Red Cross Society of China."The sub health condition, found in most cases among groups of people with a higheducational level, will have bad effects on China's long-term development and progress if not dealt timely and properly," the website warned.A survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences shows that the average life of Chinese intellectuals is 58 years, 10 years lower than the nation's average.This early death phenomenon may be increasing.Among Chinese people with high education in the 25-59 age group, the death rate for women is as high as per cent. For men it is even higher: per cent.A report published by the China Sub Health Academic Seminar said the country's health is going through a transitional(过渡的) period and many long-term diseases have taken the place of infectious diseases such as SARS, cold as the main cause of death."Bad working habits, poor disease prevention knowledge, not enough governmental investment and lack of health education are the main reasons," said Yang Xiaoduo, a healthcare expert with a local health association, who said China should race against time seeking measures to solve the sub health problem.1. What will be talked about next?A. More reasons for sub health.B. The way to solve the problem of sub health.C. Who suffer from sub health.D. Why people with high education more likely to suffer sub health.2. According to the text which of the followings is NOT true?A. Chinese people especially the city citizens are suffering from sub health problem.B. Sub health is famous for general weakness, low energy levels and a poor immune system.C. Now more and more people realize the importance to stop sub health.D. Sub health problem will do damage to our country’s development.3. What does the word “ urban” mean?A. countryB. of cityC. populationD. residents4. Which of the followings result in sub health?1. Bad working habits2. little knowledge about disease prevention3. little money spent on the sub health4. poor health educationA. 1, 2B. 1, 2,3C. 1, 2 , 4D. 1,2 ,3 ,4BHow men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we have really known is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thoughts and feelings, actions, and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to represent those sounds, and which could be written down. These sounds, whether spoken orwritten in letters, are called words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations – the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something to us increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal（具有感染力）powerfully to our minds and emotions（情感）. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey（转达）his meaning in words which sing like music, and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar（粗俗的）.5. According to the author of the passage, .A. men, as well as animals, invented certain sounds to express thoughtsB. the origin language is a difficult questionC. words did not have written form at firstD. words came from sounds6. The power of words lies in the fact that .A. it can associate the things in the world with the ideas in our mindsB. one word is connected with anotherC. it can associate one person with anotherD. it can recall to us the events of our past7. In order not to make our speech silly and vulgar, we should .A. use words that can move men to tearsB. choose words with care and accuracyC. become a master of wordsD. use words which sing like music8. The best title for this passage would be.A. The meaning of wordsB. The nature of wordsC. The invention of wordsD. The power of words五．书面表达假如你是李丽，就读于光明中学。
